Esp "The Mirage" ?

[Gitfiddler]

Hello, I played an ESP the Mirage over the weekend, and my gas will not subside. I have moved away from shredder guitars, however this one was a really really nice guitar. This one had a reverse Strat head and a Wilkinson trem. I Believe it is from the early to mid 90s

Are the Wilkinson trems as much of a pain in the ass as Floyds when breaking strings, restringing, etc.?

I didn't get a chance to plug it in, but the shop said the pick ups are ESP's version of a JB in the bridge, and I'm not sure what the neck pick up is.

Do any of you have experience with this guitar? Worth $600-700?

If it's a real ESP, the price is good. I don't see many Mirage models around & those that i've seen are pretty beat.
Maybe replace the pickups & get it professionally set up etc.

Early 90's with a Wilkinson?

That's the higher end price for the guitar in good shape. It was probably a swamp ash body.


Did it look like this?

Yes, it looks like the pic above but with a solid paint job. No wood grain showing. It had an extremely fast neck, and I like the trem on it
